Another pic of the Amon Maser. Tony says this model started out as an old Strombecker kit from the '60s which he then modified.

Stanton Corvette. Featuring completely scratch built body made from plastic sheet. Nascar wheels modified. Chain drive from toy bicycle from Kmart. Note the wheel braces! Awesome.

Love the eleven, especially as a replica is slowly going together in my shed. Are these available to buy?

Love the NZ tribute cars !

I have no models anymore, but I bought these as a pair a few years back and they live in wait at a friend's place in Melbourne for some fun when passing through town. Don't even start on Jimmy's black helmet...
